Lomas wants legend Harris to return to Millwall as a coach

MILLWALL legend Neil Harris could return to the club this summer as part of new manager Steve Lomas' backroom staff.

Harris has 12 months remaining on his contract at Southend United but, since undergoing knee surgery at the end of last season, rumours have been rife that he is set to begin his coaching career with the Lions.

And Lomas is keen on offering Harris a role at The Den should he decide to retire.

The 35-year-old is Millwall's all-time leading goalscorer, having bagged 125 goals in 380 appearances, and has previously made no secret of his desire to return as a coach.

a step in the right direction,it would be great to have the kids come up then trying to sign as beens or players who demand more money,what better person to have then Neil Harris he knows what we want from our strikers

Absolute no brainer and wouldn't want anyone else. Here's to wishfull thinking.
Only downer for lomas is that the minute he loses a couple games on the bounce everyone will be screaming for chopper to take over. Again not a bad thing.
Would be a statement of intent from lomas.
